Our STARS of CABERNET trade tasting policy:Due to the sponsorship of this event by the individual wineries, only buyers for recognized retailers, restaurants, wine shops, and licensed accounts are sponsored. Any other member of the trade may attend this event for a small fee to cover the costs incurred by the vintners. The vintners are pouring $50-200 dollar bottles of wine and want qualified key accounts and trade capable of purchasing this level of wine to attend. Please apply for a complimentary ticket - if we have additional questions we will contact you. If you do not qualify for the complimentary ticket, you may be invited to purchase a low cost trade ticket. The spirit of this event is to sell wine from top producers of Cabernet Sauvignon to accounts of the Los Angeles marketplace.
